Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for designing educational goals, materials, and assessments to be inclusive of all students. It aims to provide multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression based on the principles that there is no single approach that works for all learners. UDL guides the initial design process to eliminate barriers and provide flexibility so that all students have equal opportunities to learn through methods that work for their needs and preferences.
Project-Based Learning is a unique approach in terms of teaching strategy wherein the educator provides the students with an opportunity to do an assignment independently.
Self-regulated learning skills matter in dashboard sense-makingIoana Jivet
Learning analytics dashboard are tools developed to support awareness and reflection and aid learners in their learning process. However, we know little about how students make sense of the information presented on learner dashboards and what influences this process or its outcomes. In this research, we investigated whether learner goals and learners’ self-regulated learning skills have an effect on what dashboard design elements students find relevant for interpreting dashboards and deciding on next steps. We followed a two-step research design with an initial qualitative pre-study to gain initial insights into the research topic, followed by an extensive quantitative study with 179 university students at a Dutch university of applied sciences. We uncovered two underlying constructs for sense-making: transparency of design and support for action. Statistical analyses showed that self-regulated learning skills are predictors for how relevant students find these two constructs, but assigned learner goals, i.e., mastering a topic (being effective) or mastering a course (being efficient), did not have any significant effect on the perceived relevance of dashboard elements. With these findings, we can design more inclusive and flexible designs that will cater to the needs of both novice and expert learners.
Offering adaptive support for self-regulated learning with learning analytics...Ioana Jivet
Self-regulated learning is a crucial skill that learners need in order to be successful in an online learning environment. However, existing platforms oer little support for the development of such skills. Learning dashboards are learning analytics tools built with the purpose of making learners aware of their learning performance and behaviour and triggering self-reflection, yet most of the existing dashboards follow a "one size fits all" philosophy disregarding individual differences between learners. Throughout this PhD project, we aim to research and develop learning dashboard designs that cater to the individual needs of learners in their SRL skill development while closing the gap between learning analytics and learning sciences.
This paper evaluates the impact of a teaching methodology aimed at enhancing student learning and self-assessment skills in a large-class flipped learning environment involving a cohort of First Year students in Economics. We develop an analytic framework to investigate four distinct features of the learning process, comprising: (i) students’ ability to self-assess their performance, (ii) the association between learning gains generated by Peer-instruction and student self-assessment statements, (iii) the correlation between learning gains and student attainment, and (iv) students’ perceptions of their learning experience.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a
collection of course design ideas that
aims to provide all learners with equal
learning opportunities.
It is a framework for developing
educational goals, procedures,
resources, and assessments that are
appropriate for all students.
Introduction to Universal Design for Learning
4. Introduction to Universal Design for Learning
Not a single, one-size-fits-all answer, but
rather adaptable approaches that can be
adapted and altered to meet individual
requirements.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a
technique for guiding design for the
diversity from the start, eliminating the
need to "retrofit" with individual
accomodation
5. Principles of Universal Design for Learning
Multiple Means of Engagement
Principle 1:
• The way we feel about a learning task impacts our
motivation to begin and then persevere when the
learning becomes challenging.
• Cultural concerns, personal connection to the topic,
previous knowledge, and learning interests and
preferences are all elements that influence a
learner's involvement.
6. Principles of Universal Design for Learning
Multiple Means of Engagement
Principle 1:
• There is no one-size-fits-all approach to
engagement that works for all learners in all
contexts.
• It's critical to give learners a variety of ways to
interact with the content.
7. Principles of Universal Design for Learning
Multiple Means of Representation
Principle 2:
• The capacity of a learner to comprehend new
information is influenced by a variety of elements,
including their linguistic and cultural background,
their choice for text or video, their ability to transfer
previous knowledge to new situations, and their
ability to see or hear the content.
8. Principles of Universal Design for Learning
Multiple Means of Representation
Principle 2:
• There is no single manner of conveying knowledge
that will function well for all learners in all scenarios
due to learner variability.
• It is critical to provide learners with numerous
methods to comprehend the knowledge.
9. Principles of Universal Design for Learning
Multiple Means of Action and Expression
Principle 3:
• It has to do with how students engage with the
learning environment, as well as how they organise,
plan, and present their knowledge. Learners differ
in terms of how they share information and
implement learning.
10. Principles of Universal Design for Learning
Multiple Means of Action and Expression
Principle 3:
• Some people prefer taking examinations to
demonstrate their expertise, while others prefer to
share their thoughts through video or audio. Some
people thrive when they are given structure and
order, while others like to be more self-directed.
11. Principles of Universal Design for Learning
Multiple Means of Action and Expression
Principle 3:
• There is no one approach of structuring instruction
or presenting information that will work optimally
for all learners in all settings due to learner
variability.
• It's essential to provide learners a variety of
methods to act and demonstrate what they've
learned.
12. Benefits of Universal Design for Learning
Reduces or eliminates the
need for individual
accomodations
Helps focus attention on
concrete and specific
course outcomes
Increases flexibillity and
options for all learners
